l!rausgeniierefi Prison Selidarity Contents 2 - An Introduction 4 - The New Jersey 4 6 - Some Folks 17 - Some Tips for Writing An Introduction As radical queers we resist the state’s control over our bodies and our lives. As such, actively supporting queer and trans folks en- slaved by the prison-industrial complex must be a part of our queer anarchist praxis and analysis. We must understand the State's mechanisms of control over our bodies, our lers and our sexualities, and at the same ime, express solidarity with those in its jaws. Prison is a site of mi /, solitude, con- straint, banality and violence for all prisoners. But there are some who these at- trocities to a greater inten: of suffering. In supporting p ers, it is vital to critique and understand the way the prison system works to control certain bodies; transfolk, pom of color, queer people, sex workers, disal folks and womyn. It thus becomes clear why a focus on queer and trans prison solidarity is woefully necessary in our resistance. Writing to prisoners is an extremely mean- ingful way to offer emotional support to those inside. Writing allows us to develop relation- ships with other queer and transfolks which in turn gives us a understanding of the erations and machinery of prisons. Included in this zine you'll find informa- n about the case of the New Jersey 4, re- urces and tips for being a prison pen pal, 1d most importantly, the name’s and address- of a huge range of folks who need our love d our solidarity. We haven't included much information out these folks. Write them! Get to know em! You also won't find information about e State’s accusations against its prisoners thin these pages. We've excluded such in- rmation as a gesture of rejection of the dis- urse of crime and punishment. Such infor- ation, is however, readily available from the rious agencies Involved in imprisonment. We at Bash Back! Press, encourage you write to one (or many) of these folks and to py and share this zine with as many people possible. Until every prison burns, Bash Back! The New dersey 4 On August 18, 2006, seven young Afri- can American lesbians traveled to New York City from their homes in Newark for a regu- lar night out. When walking down the street, a man sexually propositit one of the women. After refusing to take no for an answer, he as- saulted them. The women tried to defend them- selves, and a fight broke out. The women were charged with Gang Assault in the 2nd degree, a Class C Felony with a mandatory minimum of 3.5 years. Patreese Johnson was addition- ally charged with 1st Degree Assault. Three of the women accepted plea offers. On June 14th, 2007 Venice Brown (19), Terrain Dandri sm), Patreese Johnson (20), and Renata Hill re- ceived sentences ranging from 3 12 to 11 years in prison. The case of the New Jersey 4 lllustrates the intersecting oppressions of race, gender and sexuality. r situation exposes how the prison industrial complex operates to punish and imprison the bodies of queers, womyn and people of color who resist queerbashing and misogynist violence. .

In your first letter, it is always good to introduce yourself and tell some thlngl about you, but be smart about sharing personal information with folks you don’t know. Be clear about why you're writing. 2. Research prison guildines for mail. Prisons have many absurd regula- tions in terms of what can or cannot be sent in the mail. 3. Be sure to pm your return address and the persol w 're wi to’s name nnd # nn . They often do not get thu envelope. 4. Remember, that the folks you're writing to are people. Do not token- ize, romanticize or politicize their experience. 5. Don't talk about sketchy shit. It can get both of ya'll in trouble. South Chicago ABG B, Zine Distro P.0.
